BEYOND CAYIL.
Rescued From the Very Jaws of
Death.

While the writer is we'll aware that
written testimonials regarding the
phenomenal efficacy of any particular
method of medical or surgical treat
ment of disease should be deprecated,
for they certainly are looked
upon with well-founded suspicion
by the public at large as being
little more than the cunning de-
vice of the charlatan, quack or
vendor OF patent nostrums, to make
pecuniary profit; yet no one wilt
hardly dispute the assertion that when
a remarkable meiieai cure is had OF
any description. an0a person actually
saved thereby, from premature death,
the individual thus benefited owes it
his fellow sufferers; nay, i: becomes in
the opinion of many au imperative duty
to make known in as pubic a manner as
possible the method by which his health
was regained, that others similarly
afflicted may re able, if they cesire, TO
reap the benefits. Ii is with this end
in view that the undersigned feels
prompted to conscien tiOusiy pen the
following narrative and testimonial as
to the means whereby ne geirad a re-
newed lease of life. To commerce with:
My name is William J. Jones; by occu-
patton a farmer and miner: am % years
of age and have resided il Beaver
County, Utah. nearly all my life. l oc-
cupy and cultivate farm at Rocky
Ford; but have been in the habit for
number of years past of spending the
winter months of each yesr in laboring
in and around the silve- AT lead mines
in the western. part of Beaver County.
In Sep TENDER. 1886, l was employed
By the North Star Silver Mining Com
pany, working for that company in the
Chicago mine, in the North Star Mining
District. While thus employed, in the
month above mentioned, | became ut
terly Frustrated from the banefuI
effects of the very poisonous arsenical
vapor and dust that impregnated the
workings of the mine in which / Ia
bored. This prostration and sickness
was accompanied by an almost total
suppression of urine, and q marked
dropsical tendency Of the body and
the local physicians, my friends con-
Guided it best to send me for treatment
to the Holy Cross Hospital, in Salt Lake
City. While the expert physicians OF
that excellent Institution undoubtedly
used their best skill my case seemed 10
utterly battle them, and at the expira-
ton of two months | was discharged,
with the melancholy information that
my case was incurable. I was then
utterly helpless, both physically and
financially, and but for the kind Offices
of friends would have laid aside, as it
were, to die. However, was taken in
and cared for, and two of the ablest
physicians Salt Lake afforded called
~ w az Ono IF ftoy
nosed my disease as being nephr5tiS,
and the other medical gentle
man said I was suffering from an
acute stage of Bright's disease of the
kidneys. My bodyI and limbs were
swollen to a frightful extent, the skin
being apparently distended to its utmost
tension by the Watery secretion. Both
of the physicians referred to above, gave
my case their best attention, but not
withstanding their efforts and skill
gradually grew worse and they also
gave up my cas- as hopeless. In this
terrible extremity, my friends happen
ing to Learn OF some cases of similar
character that had been successfully
treated By DR.. II. E. Grow, the Electro
pathist OF liz w. South Temple Street,
Salt Lake City, and as an almost final
venture, they called him to examine
and diagnose the case. After making
the examination Mr.. Grow reported
that my complaint was an almost com
plete paralysis of the kidneys To make
long story short, Mr.. Grow gave me
one hours treatment daily for. two
months, supplementing the electric
stimulation by mild medicine. at the
expiration of the period referred to, my
body had become reduced to its natural
size, and to the infinite Joy of my family
was enabled to return and resume my
labors on the farm wholly and per-
manently cured. This testimony is en-
tirely voluntary and unsolicited, and
is in my humble opinion but a meagre
tribute to the wonderful efficacy of the
electrical treatment of disease, as prac-
ticed. by DR.. n. E. Grow, OF Salt Lake
City. Reference, Elias Morris, Esq,
Bishop II. Sperry.
